LineageOS 15.1 System UI crashes when tapping on app in App Switcher

Hi! So, I recently updated my older Lenovo Vibe K5 to LineageOS 15.1 and installed a custom kernel. All nice and smooth, until I want to go back into an app. The Recent Apps switcher pops up, apps are there, however, when I select an app, System UI has stopped, and, after that, Android doesn't react to the home button (capacitive) and System UI crashes each time I invoke the app switcher.

Any help? I cannot install another ROM, as I have some data on that phone that I cannot lose. A full backup of the apps would do and allow another ROM installation, but from what I experimented today and yesterday, Titanium Backup doesn't backup my Messages, app accounts and other data that apps create and use. Basically, at a restore, those apps start fresh.
 
do you have twrp recovery? if so just make a nandroid backup and you are good to go. a custom recovery's main job is to do two things. one it gives you the ability to flash certain files and two to make a nandroid backup.

here is some info on what to backup:

if you do not have twrp or even a custom recovery then i suggest that you figure out how to install one as it is a vital tool for anybody who has a rooted device.

He probably replied to the wrong thread. Also, thanks for the advice! Will make a Nandroid Backup, as I do have TWRP.

I also thought of getting a logcat from the system when System UI crashes, so I can see what happens then.
